18" vs 17" Wheel

New 2006 IS250 Owner. Has OEM 18" wheels and looking for Winter Tires, live in Michigan. 18" wheels and tires have limited selection. Can I mount 17" Lexus wheels and winter tires on this car?

any size 17's should be good on the 250. if you can get an oem pair of 17's even better. If your trying to save money, I would even go 16's. Cheaper rim, MUCH better selection of winter tires. The IS250 can run 16's but the is350 cannot
